6. The racial divide is a myth, sorry and is concocted by the operatives who work for Hillary, Brock

et al.

Think about it. No one, Black, White or Latino knew who Bernie was back in May, his name recognition was about 3%.

His campaign had little money so they had to use it carefully. They were brilliant as the results show. They focused on the Early Primary states, because they knew that to be taken seriously they had to, first make it to Iowa, still under dispute so I count that as a win for Bernie, AND put up a good showing.

Not only did their hard work produce far more than expected, Bernie literally wiped Hillary off the map in NH.

To be honest, I was stunned at their success and awed by the planning that went into it.

We saw what happened. His numbers steadily went up from up from 3% to 8, 10, 16, 20, 30 and he's still on an upward trend.

Meantime, I have read that Moody, Hllary's campaign manager had warned her about Bernie, told her not to dismiss him. Asked her if she had experienced what an INCREDIBLE CAMPAIGNER he was.

Clearly they were worried, SHE was supposed to be inevitable, and they weren't taking any chances.

No doubt returning to their old smear mongering friends who helped them play the RACE CARD and the GENDER CARE in 2008, they saw Bernie's excellent Civil Rights Record.

In true Rovian style, before he could introduce himself to AAs they decided to LIE about it, dismiss and attack what they KNEW would be a strength.

I watched it, saw it before in 2008 and knew what they were up to.

Shameful, vile and not the way our political system SHOULD work, but sadly there is MONEY in smear campaigns and people with zero ethics willing to take it.

Bernie had no problems at all with minorities, this was an Atwater/Rove/Brock concoction.

But it backfired on them and the first signs of that were when AAs began to hear about him. Wondered what the controversy was.

And some began to switch from Hillary to Bernie. Some also, to her detriment as her Civil Rights activities were not what she wanted out there,began to ask 'what was SHE doing back then'.

Prominent AAs were angry when they found out her history and deeply impressed with his.

But could he introduce himself fast enough to all demographics given his lack of name recognition?

Obviously not, especially with the CORP MEDIA helping Hillary, and now we know why, to keep people from learning about him.

But amazingly his numbers among AAs began to go up, from 2% to over 30% a month ago and as more prominent AAs began to join his campaign they went up even more.

That 41% in Mass must be scaring the hell out of Hillary's campaign.

That is why we are seeing them TRY SO HARD to PLAY RACE CARD again.

I show some of that stuff to AAs we've known for years and they are horrified by it, and as more people learn about it, and I will use it to show them what good candidates, like Obama and Bernie have to deal with every time she runs for office, the more they distance themselves from her campaign.

41% and we are seeing his numbers in the Latino community going way up all over the country now.

He finally is getting SOME media coverage because they can't avoid it, the debates raised his name recognition why DWS didn't want them/

I watch the Hillary operatives to see how frightened her campaign is. It is a good way to see how WELL Bernie is doing.

And what I saw over the past week was a desperate attempt to PLAY THE RACE CARD again, and I felt great.

It meant her internal polls are showing her she is losing the minority vote.

She has practically zero support from young feminists due to the bullying of Hillary's brand of feminist, which many of us women have experienced first hand.

Good article, Uncle Joe, just wanted to point out that the ONLY problem Bernie ever had with ANYONE, was name recognition, and the vile tactics Hillary's campaign is STILL Trying to use to pevent voters from their RIGHT TO GET TO KNOW candidates.

Shameful behavior on her part, she needs to reign them in as all they are doing is ensuring she will get no support from those AAs who have seen how little she cares about them ONCE THEY Make their own choice of candidate, or from most of Bernie's supporters should she ever need it.
